The Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) is the state's lead agency in regulating pesticide use and application. Their Pesticide and Environmental Programs Division is responsible for licensing and training pesticide applicators, registering pesticides for sale, and minimizing the impact of pests on agriculture and society while protecting human health, the environment, and endangered species.
The division enforces state and federal laws, investigates violations, and takes action against offenders through the Advisory Commission on Pesticides and the Structural Pest Control Commission. They ensure the proper labeling, distribution, storage, transportation, use, application, and disposal of pesticides in Louisiana.
